A cryocontainer is placed in a room at a temperature Ta. The cryocontainer has a wall thickness of and the wall has a thermal conductivity of ka. The wall has a rectangular shape and the figure below shows the cross-sectional view of the wall only. Neglect the end effect. The inner wall surface is T, when the system reaches the steady state. If the thickness of the wall maintains the same while doubling the thermal conductivity of the wall materials from ka in Case (a) to kb=2ka in Case (b).
(a) Take the shell balance approach to work out the temperature profile for Case (a).
(b) Determine the relation between T2 and T, by assuming the heat fluxes in the two cases are the same, i.e.qx,aqx,b=1.
